Weight = Mass * Gravity = 50 kg * 10.5m/s² = 525 N

Answer:

  • 525 Newton

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight is defined as the measure of gravitational force on an object.

The magnitude of the weight depends on the acceleration of local gravity and body mass.

We apply Newton's second law to calculate the force:

F= W=weight

m = body mass= 50 Kg

a=g= acceleration due to gravity on uranos = 10.5
m/s^(2)

In this way, W=m*g

W=50kg*10.5
m/s^(2)

W=525 Newton
